Re: ouch!

Thanks Paul, You put my thoughts into words perfectly. At a little over 4 weeks post-op and being one of the over 90% group, already, I hope that the photos and the many negative posts, by the one poster, is not the cause of someone being convinced not to have the implant. For all the guys thinking ...

Re: First appt. with implant Dr.

I researched my doctor and at our first meeting I knew he was going to be my doctor, so my first important question for him was "how soon can you do it?"

Try to find out as much as you can about your doctor before you meet with him.

Lots of luck,

Ron

Re: PAIN USING THE PUMP

The one thing Dr. Henry not only told me but also wrote down: "Don't touch, don't experiment, don't play with it", He will show and teach me how to use it at my 6 week visit, until then just let it heal. It's been so long since I was able to use my little guy that I can wait. Good luck to ...

What A Day

What a day, well, I'll start with yesterday. We drove 5 hours to Shreveport, LA for a 3:00pm pre-op appointment. Got to hosp. at 6:30am, today. They took me to surgery about 8:30am and Dr. Gerard Henry, MD did his thing. I'm now the proud owner of a shiny new AMS 700 LGX with all the “bells and whis...

Wow Bob, what an encouragement!

I’m having my surgery in 2 weeks and as good as I have felt about it, you have helped me feel even better. Keep up with whatever your doing, it’s working. Continued good healing and good luck..

Re: Help me find a doctor. Found One !!!!

Latest info. Found out today that the Project Hero thing isn't going to work for me, it's a procedure deal. But I was pre-approved last week by Blue Cross, and they cover 100%. So it's still Dr. Heny on 10-26-11.
